"After the first game and getting the Win and coming to our first ever home game for Summit City, I, as well as the team had a bunch of people good crowd, and super excited for this match. 

Chicago is a good team with quality players and we’re looking to continue on that path we have started with.  We again started rocky coming from behind but settling down taking care of business, and doing what we needed to do. The defense will be the strong point for this group and our club. And that’s where games will be decided and won. Glad to be 2-0 against 2 great teams and we will see them both again later."
